So, I'm going to cheat a bit and show you a FO this Wednesday. That's right, I finished my Master Knitter Level 3 hat!! Â Yipee!! Â Here it is: It blocked out just how I wanted it to - I wanted a more droopy version of a beret - a slouchy hat. Â And I wanted an… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

WiP Wednesday
Sorry it's been so long since I posted last - it's been busy, busy, busy here!  And the loss of my kitty threw me for a loop for a little while there, but I'm doing much better now. 🙂 I did finish a shawl a week or two ago, but I can't show it to… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

Things have been stressful here the last week or so. Â Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my sweet little kitty, Gracie. Â She was only 2 (we've had her about a year and a half) and she developed kidney failure for some reason. Â She was in the hospital for 3 nights until Saturday, and we… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
Master Knitting Monday and Tour de Fleece progress
I'm participating (or trying to anyway!) in the Tour de Fleece this year. Â I'm on Team Nevermore through Three Ravens Yarn. Â I was able to finish plying up some pretty sunset colored yarn that had been sitting on my bobbins, and I started on some grey/green/rust/mauve merino/silk roving. But I've stalled due to an injured… Continue reading Master Knitting Monday and Tour de Fleece progress
WiP Wednesday: More Master Knitter Swatches, of course.
I'm still here - and still plugging away! I only have ONE swatch left to do! Â ONE! Â (And it's one that happens to be giving me fits.

WiP Wednesday #38
I have lots in progress this week! First, I got my shipment of fleece back from the processor -(Fleury Sheep and Wool - they are AWESOME! I highly recommend them if you need fiber processed) - and I now have no reason to say that I don't have enough wool to spin. o.O My corriedale fleece that… Continue reading WiP Wednesday #38

The boys and I are at the park, so it's a perfect time to do some spinning. 🙂
WiP Wednesday
I'm still waiting on the mailman to bring me my Master Knitter Level 2 binder. Â It's been over 7 weeks since I mailed it in, now. Â I'm holding out hope that it's a good thing it's taking so long - maybe that means I'll have less re-work to do? Â That's what I'm telling myself anyway.… Continue reading WiP Wednesday

I've been knitting like the wind on my Celestarium this week. Â I'm at the last increase row between the E charts and the F charts! Yay!? Just 55 rows with 576 stitches each left! Â (Plus the edging.) o.O The yarn has been leaving blue dye on my hands like crazy. Â I really hope it doesn't… Continue reading WiP Wednesday
WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
So, I've been killing time as best I can while waiting for my Master Knitter Level 2 binder to come back to me. Â The waiting is the hardest part, I think! Â What will I have to re-do? Is my vest up to snuff? Did my sock pass? ... and so on and so forth. BUT,… Continue reading WiPs, a FO, and an Interview!
